Finished
reading ‘Gambling’ by Mike Atherton (yes, the former England cricket captain)
which surveys the history, development and current trends in betting, in a well-written,
insightful and interesting fashion, though for me the interest is purely
academic, being almost pathologically risk-averse with my only flutter being
the occasional purchase of a raffle ticket when cornered by a good cause, and
then the worst that can happen is to actually win and be forced to take home somebody
else’s unwanted Christmas present.
